Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the driving rhythm of Photobooth into the delicate, layered vocal harmonies of Technicolor Girls.
The raw, unvarnished intimacy of the acoustic 405 where the guitar strings buzz slightly against the frets.
The expansive, slow-burning build of the alternate Company Calls Epilogue that stretches the original's tension into something more cinematic.
